United Way campaign to help affected workers pay bills [View all]
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Relief efforts to aid workers who have seen their wages suffer as a result of water-related business closures are beginning to be organized.
Businesses across the region were forced to shut down last Thursday because of the Freedom Industries chemical spill that rendered the water supply for roughly 100,000 homes and businesses untouchable.
The closures have meant many workers, particularly those in the hospitality and food service industries, have lost wages from being unable to work.
The United Way of Central West Virginia announced Monday it is establishing a West Virginia Emergency Fund to help those who will now be facing strained household budgets.
